If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

Good article other than I am unsure on the reputation of the PrivacyTools website.

I second this. I simply use the FF compatible extensions and ignore the Chrome side of compatibility. It's been awesome!

Brave bought ad space on YouTube, and showed an ad on how to block ads on YouTube.

Mozilla could have done something similar with UBO but they just keep missing so many golden chances.
